Course details
Answers specified for your work environment
Each of our trainers has used Scrum himself for over 10 years. He knows the practice, the working world and the solutions that will take you further. No matter if you are a large company or a startup.
Our seminar is suitable for all industries: although Scrum is very well known in the IT world, you will learn about it as a more universal philosophy.
There are also expectations associated with the new certifications - the learning objectives. These learning objectives are documented at Scrum Alliance. We talk through the learning objectives with participants at the beginning of the training course. Some learning objectives can be met in advance for many participants - for example, making the connections between Scrum and the Agile Software Development Manifesto. Other learning objectives are met in the course through hands-on exercises and reflection - when it comes to facilitating meetings or coaching team members.
We allow plenty of time to talk about participants' situations and challenges. Collegial case consulting is one of the methods we teach and use to address blockages, conflicts or development opportunities in a structured way.

Questions About the Advanced Certified ScrumMaster®
This is an extension class for Certified ScrumMaster®s, who are already using Scrum and intend to improve their efficacy. The focus of this course is a deep dive into all work areas of a Scrum Master.
First of all passion, eagerness to learn and a positive attitude. Along with some hard requirements for the certification. While the class contents are suitable for all practicing Scrum Masters, the Scrum Alliance certification requires:
- A valid Certified ScrumMaster® certification.
- One year practical Scrum Master experience.
- The attendance of our class and the participation in at least one focus topic and an application practice webinar.
You are about to discover new tools and models for the various work areas of a Scrum Master. Use these methods and practices to improve your efficacy on team, Product Owner and organisation. You will connect to other practitioners of Scrum and benefit from shared experiences, to tackle even difficult challenges.
While it is sufficient for the CSM to repeat certain concepts – by passing the online-exam for instance – the A-CSM is mostly about application competencies. These competencies can be divided into three areas:
- Team: What can I do as a Scrum Master, to help a group of people grow into a high-performing team? How can I catalyze the team building processes? How do I deal with conflicts? How can my team achieve technical excellence?
- Organisation: How can I support the organisational change? How does agile work scale? How can I determine the root causes of impediments to resolve them for good? How can I see an organisation as a whole system and realise the interdependencies?
- Product: How do I support the Product Owner? How can I facilitation collaboration? What makes a good vision, a living Product Backlog, a great product? How can I create a shared understanding of expectations?
Our A-CSM classes are held in groups of 8-18 persons. This setup gives us enough time to deal with individual questions and situations, while we have enough different perspectives for an interesting class. The presence part is accompanied by a series of webinars. They contain focus topics or depend the application of Scrum. We are offering several webinars per month, which provides you some flexibility. We expect the participation of at least two webinars after the presence class.
The time-box for most webinars is 90 minutes, plus occasional challenges or homework.
We have two kinds of webinars. You can join as many webinars as you like after your presence class.
- Webinar Focus Topic: Challenges or conflicts in your team? Improve your usage of user stories? Impediment removal? These are potential focus topics presented by our trainers or guests.
- Application Practice: We reflect the individual progress, discuss questions and participant topics. Everything that helps us to become better Scrum Masters.
